Paul Nairn

I am a EMDR and BACP‑accredited integrative therapist specializing in trauma and EMDR, offering evidence‑based support for adults processing painful or overwhelming experiences. My work is grounded in a trauma‑informed, relational approach that prioritises safety, stabilisation, and the steady pacing required for clients recovering from childhood trauma, complex trauma, relational wounds, and PTSD. EMDR is a core part of my practice. It supports the brain’s natural ability to process distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity and helping clients feel more grounded, connected, and in control. I integrate EMDR with complementary modalities—including CBT, IPT, PCE‑CfD, somatic therapy, IFS‑informed work, EFT, and Brainspotting—to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. This flexible, integrative approach allows for both focused short‑term interventions and deeper long‑term trauma work. With experience across NHS, third‑sector, and private practice settings, I bring a grounded clinical background to my work, alongside specialist training in trauma therapies. I also provide clinical supervision for therapists seeking reflective, ethically robust, trauma‑responsive practice.
